need wheel advice

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?pc=22317&ar=70&wd=17&rw=9&rd=17&cs=285

thinking of getting these 17x9 v-tec raptor wheels with some 285/70/17 tires. i have a 2.5 inch lift. will they work on my truck? will they rub the break calipers? will they rub anything? please help.

 

It depends on the backspacing. I'm not an expert but i'm pretty sure a 17'' wont rub on calipers. If you're doing a 285 tire, you're going to want to go with at least a 4.5'' backspacing, otherwise you're going to have problems with rubbing on cab mounts. I couldn't find specs on website, if you find anything else let me know.

 

specs say those rims have a 6" inch backspacing. will that work?
here they are- http://www.visionwheel.com/pdf/V-Tec 372 RWD Tech2.pdf

 

I cant promise you anything, but from what I've read on here, you need at least 4.5'' backspacing. 6'' is way too much to be running a 285. Check this thread out. It explains a lot about all the wheel spec info.

Yeah +25 offset and 6" backspacing: The tires gonna hit the UCA for sure. Doubt you'll even be able to get them fully into position on the hub.

If you want a 17x9 rim, look for a 0mm or -6mm offset, and 4.25" backspacing.

 

thanks guys

 

For a 9" rim, -12mm offset is 4.5" backspacing, and -18mm offset is 4.25" backspacing.

-6 mm would be 4.75" backspacing.

 

what about some 17x8.5 rims have a -6mm offset and a 4.5" backspacing? will they work without rubbing the UCA?

 

If they have -6mm offset and 4.5" backspacing then they must be 8.5" wide rims....

If that is the case, then all the numbers are consistent with each other, and you are good to go without rubbing the uca with that setup.

 

thank you so much for that information. honestly ive been doing so much research.
